Thanks, Paul. It's a small world!

Thank you for the feedback! I will keep it in mind for future layout filming.

Hi Pete, Warley was Fab. There was so much to see. You missed a good one! Next year? Thanks for the comment. Dave

Thanks so much! 😊

Thanks for the comment. I've added a class P2 to the fleet most recently. Congrats on starting the channel! I hope you're enjoying the RUclips journey.

Thank you so much 🤗

Exactly!! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for commenting and for the background info. Very interesting 🧐

😄 Thanks for the comment. It made me laugh. I’m always amazed how many locos are selling second hand everyday. But, supply isn’t bringing the price down. As you say, demand for second hand locos is high, which is forcing the prices up. That said, sometimes you can pick up a real steal. I love it when this happens!

@@TreuddynJunction my local shop was telling me the other week that they hardly sell any new Hornby, stock turnover much higher on 2nd hand locos due to the ridiculous price. Expensive dust magnets, shame really as they supposed to be built to run 😞

Ps. New to your channel but enjoying the few vids I've seen

@@_RandomPea Very sad. There are some lovely new locos out at the moment. But they are too far out of my price range. I love to run my fleet of locos. I wish I had more time to run them for longer.

@@_RandomPea thanks for watching👍. I'm very new to this and it's a steep learning curve. Make sure to check out my latest video where I apply this approach to my latest addition - an A4 Mallard with TTS. 😉

@petermillerdelphjunction1168 Thanks Pete, I’m happy you liked it. For some reason it took forever to film and edit. So it’s great to hear you enjoyed it. I’d probably have a go at you for getting a green over the iconic garter blue 😁. Saying that, I’m on the look out for a green one. Have a good day. Dave

@jamesfox6736 Thank you for watching 👍. It's taking some time, but I’m learning with every episode. I never thought I'd be on RUclips talking cost benefit ratios 😆

Thank you… I’ll be keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced TTS decoder. The item was listed as a A4 with TTS sound. But there was no mention either way about it working or not. You win some and lose some. Thanks for watching and the comment. Dave

👍🏼

Hi… I hope all is well with you 👍🏼

Hi Pete, thanks for commenting. I don’t know what happened with the sound. The file is there and working on my machine but fails when I upload it. No idea! I can’t make it to Crewe. I will be at Warley… can’t wait. Have a fab time at Crewe! Dave

Thanks. This is the backscene: ID Backscenes ID-P208C Premium 9 inch photographic backscene - "Hills and Dales" - Pack C. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Pete, I couldn’t agree more! It’s a fab resource. I’m not sure I’d have made it this far without YT. I’ve just subscribed to your channel. I look forward to seeing the layout develop. Dave

I Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for commenting and sharing!

Fantastic! What sound decoder did you put in it?

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the info… I will take a look at this 👍🏼

Thanks for the feedback. I will take it on board for the next video 👍🏼

I will have to take a look at the loco and confirm, but I recall it was an old ringfield motor in the tender, which makes for an easy conversion. I will do a video on converting this type of mechanism in the future. The Saint is one of my favourite locos. Unfortunately, mine has a damaged funnel 🙁

@@TreuddynJunction right, I tried converting a LMS Compound tender driven ringfield but I gave up... 🙈

@@gwrtromsoe it’s not easy the first time you do it, and it does feel a little brutal at first. I will do a video in the next couple of weeks to hopefully help you do it.

Thanks for the comment. The brackets allow for easy storage and transportation. I bought them from Amazon. They are called Stainless Steel Flush Concealed Mount Brackets

Thank you. I was surprised by how easy it went on. I was expecting air bubbles and creases. What I wasn't expecting was the strength of the adhesive. I couldn't lift it once I had put it on-even moments after I had stuck it down.

It’s amazing how quickly you can transform your layout with a back scene. Definitely have a go at adding one to your layout.

Thank you for your comment. You are right to call out the research. Choosing a backdrop can be challenging, and it requires more thought than you might initially realise. There are numerous factors to consider, and the range of choices is extensive. Thanks again.

Completely agree. It’s an instant transformation. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the kind words about the wiring. I was worried I was going to get called out on bad wiring to be honest 🙂 At first it looks neat and tidy and then the number of wires continues to grow and grow.

@@TreuddynJunction yeah it’s the same on mine I’m awaiting to put some signals in and then it’ll be even messier

Yes, I’ve been looking at this myself. Have you decided on an approach and the products you’re going to use?

Thank you. I will take a look at the sound next video. Good point about the CDUs. I hadn’t thought of that.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback! Much patience is needed with the point motor work.

Thanks for commenting and your kind words. I was really impressed with the exhibition. Well run, and plenty to see. The German HO layout was very good. I liked the fact it was on multiple levels and there was plenty of things going on. I’m planning on going to Warrington next, I will take the feedback on board.

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the support!

I appreciate your honesty. I was thinking I should have spent a little more time on the sound. That said, the video was a trial at filming using different angles etc. We can definitely improve now we have a baseline. Thanks for watching!

@@TreuddynJunction angle was very good to allow the viewer to clearing see what you were doing. Maybe some better lighting could help. Still great though!

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you’re enjoying the content. Thanks for the support.

Thank you. Practice helps!

Glad you liked the video. I will take on board your feedback.

Thank you. It’s much appreciated!

I’m glad you like the video. My DCC chip has arrived for the Q1. Hopefully I will get around to converting it this weekend.

I hope you had a nice break. You’re in for a real treat next year!

The exhibition was great. We arrived just in time for the fire alarm on Saturday. Looking forward to next years event!

Thank you.

Thank you for your question. I’ve opted for DCC (Digital Command Control) both for my locomotives and layout. The reason behind this choice is rooted in my passion for the hobby. Back when I was younger, I had a Hornby train set, but it had its limitations. With DCC, the possibilities in model trains expands tremendously. One of the key advantages is the ability to control multiple locomotives independently on the same track. This versatility greatly enhances the realism and enjoyment of running a model railway. Moreover, my long-term goal is to integrate computer control into my layout, and DCC sets the foundation for achieving that.

Thanks for the comment. I forgot to mention in the video that RailModeller Pro is a paid for software. There is a free version of the software available to try first which has a lot of the paid versions functionality. It may be worth taking a look at this before diving in to the paid version.

Bought it! $45 on Apple Store. FYI for anyone else - there's a link within the app Help menu to YT videos on how to use it, from absolute beginners (like me) to more advanced tips.

How have you got on with the software?

@@TreuddynJunction , yes, thank you for the follow up. I've just jumped in and started creating files laying out different ideas and concepts. I'm not using any of the advanced features yet, I'll need to watch some of the videos for that, but about where I was with the old Atlas Right Track Software when it was still free. But with this 1) I can use it on my Mac, and 2) I can study Peco track, or mixing Atlas and Peco, advantages/disadvantages. So in short, really enjoying it!

Thank you for the advice! I’ll definitely consider your suggestions about the curve and the points. Swapping the y point sounds interesting too. I’ll take a look at the Peco templates before making any changes.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the series and the layout plan. Your tip about adding subtle transitions is really helpful. I’ll definitely work on creating smoother transitions to enhance the overall viewing experience. Your support means a lot, and I’m excited to share more progress with you.

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you noticed the improvements in the editing. Your suggestion about extending the station platform makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate the idea of adding more room. I’ll definitely consider your input as I continue to refine the layout. Thanks again for watching and for your valuable input!

Thanks for watching.
